The 20th Century Room
The Runner
1997, Acrylic on Canvas, 22" x 29"Running has usually been a very solitary experience for me—punctuated by brief encounters at near light speed by entities traveling in another direction, the identity of places established by thousands of individual glimpses accumulated over months and years. I think I only saw this lady once as she pounded around .the curving crest of the Hill Trail at Rancho San Antonio park I was ascending. Her cross-eyed and startled look, her face dazzled and illuminated by a sudden band of light.
